The one where James Bond finally gets to fight Spectre again.Spectre is the twenty-fourth film in the Eon Productions James Bond series, the fourth outing for Daniel Craig, the second film in the series to be directed by Sam Mendes and the direct sequel to Skyfall. The film was released on October 26, 2015, in the UK, November 6 in the US. Sam Smith performed the Title Theme Tune, "Writing's on the Wall", which became the first-ever Bond theme to hit #1 on the UK charts. It is the final Bond film released by Sony Pictures Releasing under Columbia Pictures.After being suspended for an unsanctioned hit in Mexico City, Bond discovers a cryptic message from his past that puts him on the trail of a sinister organization. While the new M battles political forces to keep the Double-0 section alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind Spectre.The eponymous Nebulous Evil Organization returns to the series after a 44-year absence due to Eon Productions being Screwed by the Lawyers since 1971's Diamonds Are Forever. Returning staff outside Sam Mendes includes screenwriters Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan and composer Thomas Newman, with Hoyte van Hoytema joining them as cinematographer. Returning cast include Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner. New cast members include Christoph Waltz as villain Franz Oberhauser (later Ernst Stavro Blofeld), Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, and Andrew Scott as Max Denbigh.Followed by No Time to Die, a sequel that picks up where this film left off.

Comforting the Widow
 Spectre / int_107edaa4
comment
Comforting the Widow: A Justified Trope, wherein James Bond seduces a man's widow on the same day as the guy's funeral. While this would usually be pretty inappropriate (not least because he's the one who made her a widow) the situation is ameliorated for several reasons, since 1] the deceased party was clearly a bad guy, 2] the marriage was an unhappy one, and 3] Bond previously saved her from being assassinated by her late husband's "associates".

The Spymaster: M as usual and Franz Oberhauser whose true identity is Ernst Stavro Blofeld and whose criminal organization Spectre is attempting to get into a position to quietly take over the intelligence services of multiple nations in order to acquire and control the intel that they gather. They intend to do so with an asset that they've cultivated and put into position with a series of false flag terrorist attacks.

 Spectre / int_13e1c444

Plot-Triggering Death: Franz Oberhauser committed Patricide just because his own father favored an orphaned Bond over him. This not only served as the catalyst for the relationship between him and Bond in later years, but indirectly shaped the events of the previous three movies.

Trailers Always Spoil
 Spectre / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: The trailers are very open about the reappearance of Mr. White, following his absence from Skyfall, but the film itself actually treats this as a twist. Several mentions are made of "The Pale King", the identity of whom anyone who has seen the trailers can work out immediately, but Bond himself doesn't realize it until meeting the man. On the other hand, any Daniel Craig's Bond fan seeing Jesper Christensen's name in the opening credits would have no trouble working this out for themselves.

 Spectre / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Spectre to Quantum. Depending on the interpretation (the film supports both), it's either the warped version of Quantum or its bosses. Either way, Quantum was into Pragmatic Villainy, manipulating leaders and natural resources to secure profit and influence for its network. Spectre is explicitly involved with bombing cities, human trafficking and other more overt methods. Profit's still in mind, but in a messier, darker way.

Ripped from the Headlines
 Spectre / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: Mr. White's assassination via radiation poisoning is likely inspired by the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, which happened just a couple of days before Casino Royale premiered. The main plot of the movie, about Spectre installing a powerful global surveillance tool that they wants to use for their own ends, was almost certainly inspired by the NSA revelations spilled by Edward Snowden.

Hidden Agenda Villain: Subverted. Franz Oberhauser is established as an estranged foster brother who despises 007 for being favored by his foster father Hannes Oberhauser when both were younger. This led him to commit Patricide out of pure malice and orchestrate the numerous tragedies Bond faced in later years.

 Spectre / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers all make it seem that the personal effects box recovered from the ruins of Skyfall Manor is what kickstarts the plot of the movie and that the ring with the Spectre logo was found in it. In fact, what puts Bond on the trail of Spectre is a video message from the late M, and he is far into his investigation (having already killed Sciarra and taken his ring) by the time Moneypenny gives him the box.

Self-Parody: The standard Q briefing is rife with this, as Bond is shown a magnificent new car and told about all the extras, only to be then told it's for another agent. He's then given a new watch, which unlike most in the series, actually is primarily just a watch, albeit with a "quite loud" alarm. Subverted when it is revealed that the "quite loud alarm" quip was actually a reference to it having a bomb.

Chekhov's Gun: Bond's brand new Omega Seamaster 300 which Q has rigged to explode upon activating the alarm. He uses it in an attempt to kill Oberhauser/Blofeld and distract his security detail in order to make an escape attempt. Chekhov's Former HQ. After being bombed by Silva in Skyfall, Bond and Tanner pass the old MI6 building early on and Tanner remarks it's set to be demolished in a week's time. Part of the climax takes place inside the building, with Blofeld using the demolition to his advantage in trying to kill Bond and Madeleine. Chekhov's Boat and Safety Net too.

comment
Good Is Old-Fashioned: C/Max Denbigh claims that the world is better off with the "Nine Eyes" surveillance project, thinking that an Attack Drone can do a better job than a field agent. However, M holds up the importance of spies as they're capable of autonomous decisions, especially ethical ones, going so far to ask C if he ever held a gun. Spectre later does prove that even in a digitized era, an old-fashioned spy is still necessary to prevent critical errors.

Analogy Backfire: Oberhauser's facility is housed within a crater formed by a meteor, and he had the meteor itself put on display. When Bond and Swann arrive, he launches into a speech about how the meteor had waited up in space, silently biding its time, before becoming an unstoppable force that changed the face of the Earth. Bond shoots back that the meteor actually did stop, and right where they're standing, in fact. You can see some of the wind come out of Oberhauser's sails.

Nom de Mom: Franz Oberhauser resented his father for showing kindness to Bond when he was young, so he took his mother's maiden name, and lived under the pseudonym of Ernest Stavro Blofeld.

False Flag Operation: Every nation mentioned to have suffered a terrorist incident in the time frame of the film is either a member of or fairly close to a member nation of the council that is voting on the Nine Eyes programme. When South Africa vetoes the programme, they suffer a terrorist incident that makes them reconsider their position within a matter of days. This is because Spectre wants the Nine Eyes system to go live, as C is providing them with backdoor access.

Even Evil Has Standards: When Oberhauser/Blofeld orders the death of the Spectre henchman who was supposed to replace Sciarra, most of the Spectre attendees were a bit unnerved by how Oberhauser ordered it: He summons Mr. Hinx, who then proceeds to bash the Spectre henchman's skull on the table, gouge his eyes out with his thumbnails, before finally killing him off with a Neck Snap and taking his place. Mr. White had no problem destabilizing governments, funding terrorism and murdering countless people in the previous films, but tells Bond he abandoned Spectre after they started dabbling in the sex trade, preying on women and children. Bond calls White out on his claiming the moral high ground after his own past actions.

Not Worth Killing: Blofeld is severely injured after his helicopter crashes onto the Westminster Bridge. As 007 approaches Blofeld crawling away from the wreckage, he offers Bond into kill him. But after some initial hesitation, Bond tosses his Walther PPK away and states he's "out of bullets", and leaves him to be arrested by M. This also left Blofeld a bit perplexed as to why 007 chose to spare him despite their Cain and Abel relationship. And it also escapes Blofeld's mind in the fact that despite being a Professional Killer, there are certain moral lines even Bond won't cross, and while 007 may finally get his revenge, killing Blofeld won't do much.

Actor Allusion: Ralph Fiennes, as a British spy, once again noticeably brandishes an umbrella while in a pinstripe suit. He also asks Bond why he was "pottering" around Mexico. When Oberhauser referred to visiting Madeleine's house to see her father, was he talking about when she was a child, or once upon a time in Nazi-occupied France? Daniel Craig appears in another Sam Mendes film where an orphan is taken in and the biological son ruins the family because of his jealousy.

Boring, but Practical: One of the ethical dilemmas posed here in the movie is whether the Attack Drones advocated by C can do the job of field agents like 007. M holds up the importance of the human element because they're capable of autonomous decisions, especially ethical ones on the spot, going so far to ask C if he ever held a gun. Spectre later does prove this correct: even in a digitized era, old-fashioned field agents are still necessary to prevent critical errors.

comment
Plot-Based Photograph Obfuscation: Bond finds a photo that features him as a boy with his long-deceased mentor and another boy, but the second boy's face is not shown as part of the photo has been charred. This actually foreshadows 007's relationship with the other boy, who has now grown up to become Blofeld and is now after him for being favored by his father, who regarded him as a second son. Jealous of Bond's relationship with his father, Franz Oberhauser commits patricide and fakes his own death, before re-emerging as the nebulous leader of SPECTRE and orchestrating all the tragedies Bond faced since Casino Royale, before taking center stage as the Big Bad. A copy of the original photo is later seen at his lair.

Musical Nod: The second trailer features brief snippets of the themes to Thunderball and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Fitting, as Thomas Newman composed both.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Spectre / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bond gets suspended for his unauthorized mission in Mexico City. You remember that inquiry about the 00 programme in the previous film? Turns out M's speech and Silva's interruption didn't actually derail it. Heck, Spectre was behind it in the first place. The bad guys get a vote, too. They can go to town with armored cars just like Bond does. Bond learns this the hard way when he does a fly-past at the kidnappers' motorcade in Austria and finds Mr Hinx's Range Rover is able to No-Sell several 9mm rounds that Bond fires at it. As Bond learns the hard way, the Girl of the Week doesn't immediately fall into his arms after being rescued. Nearly killing her by ramming the trunk of the Range Rover made Swann justifiably angry with 007. The car Bond stole from MI6 garage isn't massively locked and loaded with ammunition like a typical Bond car. Safety protocol dictates that weapons be disarmed when not in commission. Played for Laughs when Bond finds out Moneypenny has a boyfriend. Other people have lives, too. Even Moneypenny says as much: "It's called a life. You should try it sometime".

Deus ex Machina: At least two. Bond and Swann escape Blofeld's Supervillain Lair with surprisingly little effort, thanks to an exposed fuel pipe and the guard's sparse number and unwillingness to shoot straight. In the collapsing MI6 headquarters, Bond and Swann also escape rather easily thanks to a safety net and a speedboat that has no business being there. Though both of them were shown previously in the scene.

Bittersweet Ending: Bond had to endure brutal torture and the reveal that the foster brother he'd mourned for years had been a jealous psychopath who as his greatest enemy constantly sought to cause him as much loss and misery as possible and with Oberhauser/Blofeld looking on at Bond and Madeleine in the end, it's abundantly clear he still intends to somehow hurt Bond through her. Otherwise things worked out perfectly with Blofeld/Oberhauser imprisoned, C dead, their whole scheme utterly foiled and Bond receiving the closure necessary to leave that life behind and move on with Madeleine to be happy.

comment
Epic Tracking Shot: The opening minutes of the film were effectively a single take, though the DVD featurette on the subject acknowledges some "sleight of hand" in this. Becomes epic when the camera view appears to segue from being ground-level crane-based to hand-held to rooftop crane-based without a cut.

comment
Hellish Copter: The pre-credits sequence involves Bond trying to kill a man in an out of control helicopter hurtling over the skies of Mexico City. The copter even does several barrel rolls. In the film's climax, Bond manages to plink a twin-engine helicopter a few times with a small handgun, which causes both engines to burst into flames, sending it crashing down.

M never raises his voice but he's visibly furious that C has been spying on his agents and staff, knowing full well that the others wouldn't go behind his back without good reason.

Two-Faced: Blofeld has the left side of his face disfigured after Madeleine throws Bond's explosive watch at him. Blood can be seen flying off his face as he falls. When the scar is seen later, it's clear that Blofeld can no longer see out of that eye. He simply shrugs as if nothing unusual happened.

Petty Childhood Grudge: It's revealed that the reason Ernst Blofeld hates James Bond and has schemed to make his whole life a misery is because after Blofeld's father took in the orphaned Bond, Blofeld became extremely jealous and believed his father loved Bond more than him. Decades later, Blofeld seeks to take away everything Bond loves to spite him for 'replacing' him and also orchestrated his own father's death. It's not even clear if Blofeld's father even did prefer Bond over his son, or if he was just paying him more attention as Bond was a newly-arrived foster child who had recently lost his parents, making Blofeld look even more petty.

When we meet Mr. White, he's a broken and disheveled man living in a cabin deep in the Austrian countryside desperately fearing for his life, a far cry from the Smug Snake manipulator he was in the first two Craig films. Though Bond does later acknowledge that it takes some talent to successfully hide out for as long as he has.

Crazy Jealous Guy: Funnily enough, Bond plays this trope (though in a low-key way) when he overhears the voice of a young man on the line while in a phone conversation with Moneypenny, who is in her apartment at a time when most people would be sleeping. Given the overall history of the Bond-Moneypenny flirtation, it's probably as much him poking fun at her as it is actual jealousy.

Non-Action Big Bad: Oberhauser/Blofeld simply watches James Bond try to save Madeleine in the climax, and he is never seen engaging in combat. The only time he takes direct action is in the film's obligatory torture sequence, but even then he's on a computer when torturing Bond and and is not doing it physically, and he's easily subdued when Madeleine throws the watch at him before it explodes in his face.

The second time, he constructs an elaborate Death Trap, giving Bond a Sadistic Choice: escape now on your own but live with the guilt of not saving Madeleine Swann in time for the rest of your life, or try to rescue Madeleine and die together. Bond takes the 2nd choice, and he not only manages to save Madeleine in the nick of time, he also gives chase to Blofeld and has him arrested for his crimes. In this case, Oberhauser was playing on Bond's feelings to get him to fall, but since he was more interested in tormenting Bond rather than killing him, this gave Bond plenty of time to find Swann and then escape.

While he uses a very benign word, the pause leaves no doubt as to what M was really getting at.

Starter Villain: The film opens with Bond assassinating terrorist-for-hire Marco Sciarra following an eventful chase through Mexico City that climaxes in a fight aboard a moving helicopter. Sciarra has a good deal more plot influence than the average starter villain, however, as a signet ring taken from his body and testimony from his abused wife lead Bond to the realization that all his previous enemies - Le Chiffre, Mr. White, Dominic Greene, Raoul Silva, and the Quantum organization as a whole - had served the same master: Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Daniel Craig and the producers have also indicated that they'd like him to continue in the role, so it's likely the scene at the end will be a 10-Minute Retirement.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 Spectre / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Bond gazes at the memorial wall of MI6, one of the names visible is "Emma Pill". Ironically, this was completely unintentional, as the names are that of the crew members (Emma Pill was location manager), but needless to say, the similarity has most viewers convinced it's a Shout-Out to The Avengers (1960s).

Bavarian Fire Drill: Using a ring bearing the SPECTRE insignia he pried off from a SPECTRE mook before killing him, Bond masquerades as a high-ranking member of the organisation in order to gather intel on its leadership. It works well, until Franz Oberhauser calls him out, and in fact, allowed it to occur in order to lure 007 to his death. Bond quickly bails out once his cover was blown.

Ejection Seat: Played With. Counter to the usual Bond film expectation, James uses it exactly as intended, as an emergency evacuation device for himself. Also averted in the classic DB5 when Bond is holding the shifter. He pauses for a moment, and Swann glances at him. Remember that there is a red button in the shifter knob.

Oberhauser's entire plan was ultimately to force this trope on Bond via Trauma Conga Line. Instead, Bond turns things around by wrecking Oberhauser's primary base of operations, depriving him of his resources and network, leaving him battered and at the mercy of the British government, then refuses to kill him, instead letting him get a view of Bond and Madeleine having earned their happy ending.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In the climax of the film when Bond is holding Blofeld at gunpoint. M is there dressed in black representing Bond's life as a deceiving and murderous agent for the crown, with Madeleine in the other side dressed in white, representing the chance of a peaceful life away from the death and lies. Madeleine in general, who wears white in all but three of her scenes. Especially her first one, where she herself is clad all in black, indicating that we don't yet know who she's loyal to and symbolizing her initially antagonistic relationship with Bond.

Bond Villain Stupidity
 Spectre / int_7570a10c
comment
Bond Villain Stupidity: Crops up several times. Oberhauser's petty desire to sadistically torment Bond and relish in his suffering instead of killing him on the spot due to their Cain and Abel relationship ends up becoming his Fatal Flaw in the movie. First, when he has Bond at his mercy in his secret base, he just decided to go all Evil Gloating and Break the Badass on both Bond and the Bond Girl, and then he'd get to killing Bond after the Cold-Blooded Torture instead of instantaneously killing 007. This gives 007 ample time to bail out and conjure a plan to take down Oberhauser and C. The second time, he constructs an elaborate Death Trap, giving Bond a Sadistic Choice: escape now on your own but live with the guilt of not saving Madeleine Swann in time for the rest of your life, or try to rescue Madeleine and die together. Bond takes the 2nd choice, and he not only manages to save Madeleine in the nick of time, he also gives chase to Blofeld and has him arrested for his crimes. In this case, Oberhauser was playing on Bond's feelings to get him to fall, but since he was more interested in tormenting Bond rather than killing him, this gave Bond plenty of time to find Swann and then escape. Oberhauser's henchmen aren't too bright either. When they kidnap Bond, they tie his hands in front of him, with plastic zip ties. Sure enough, Bond is able to grab one of their guns and shoot them both, then break free. C/Max Denbigh himself is guilty of this, as he had many chances to kill M so he won't hinder his Evil Plan to seize control of the world's intelligence agencies and forward the collected intel to Spectre, but opts to go for Break Them by Talking near the climax. He also failed to realized that M managed to do a sweep of his office and empty his gun before C gets there, being that M is a former field agent unlike C, who's more of a corrupt paper-shuffler and Obstructive Bureaucrat. He finally tries to kill M, but M manages to grab C's gun and send him down a Disney Villain Death.

Bait-and-Switch: Played for Laughs when Q showed Bond a Cool Car prototype he has made, and after explaining some of the neat features it has, promptly tells Bond that the car is assigned to 009, and not him. Then subverted when Bond steals the car anyway.

Cool Car
 Spectre / int_8a295a46
comment
Cool Car: The Aston Martin DB10, which was custom made for the film. The car park outside the Spectre meeting is full of them, especially Mr. Hinx's Jaguar CX75, a discontinued hybrid electric Super Prototype with a F1-inspired engine that can generate 750 BHP. In the alps, Spectre uses a pair of "Big Foot" Defender Land Rovers modified with 37-inch off-road tires and winch, and a SVR Range Rover equipped with V8s that can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds. They're also armored, which proves useful when Bond lets loose several 9mm rounds from the handgun he appropriated from one of the fallen Spectre team members. Bond's old DB-5 is being rebuilt in Q's workshop and is ready for Bond to drive off in at the end.

No One Could Survive That!: Bond could have saved himself some trouble if he hadn't taken this view. First of Hinx after after the car crash, and later of Oberhauser. He refers to the latter as the "recently deceased leader of Spectre" when talking to M, after the attack on the Morocco base. Being Blofeld, however, he's very much alive.

Corporate Conspiracy: SPECTRE are the ones who have bankrolled a joint intelligence-sharing program between the world's leading spy agencies. With the backdoor access they'll have, it would enable them to permanently stay ahead of anyone who is trying to investigate them. Quantum is also revealed to be a sub-unit of SPECTRE, as they were the ones who financed Raoul Silva's cyber-criminal activities in Skyfall. By this time, SPECTRE has morphed into an Illuminati-esque organization whose tentacles has penetrated the upper echelons of companies, governments, and even not-for-profits.

Revisiting the Roots
 Spectre / int_8eb3d48f
comment
Revisiting the Roots: This film brings back many of the elements that made up a classic Bond film but were not used in the previous Craig films. These include: The gun barrel sequence, which returns to the beginning of the film. M uses an office reminiscent of Bernard Lee's. Both M and Bond start making Deadpan Snarker quips again. There are little beats of silly humor (e.g. Bond holding onto a sconce for dear life, only to fall softly onto a sofa) reminiscent of those used during the 80's and 90's. Bond has an Unresolved Sexual Tension with Moneypenny. Q provides Bond with gadgets, including a Weaponized Car and an exploding wristwatch. Bond seduces a secondary Bond girl, who's more exotic and connected to the main villain, before he comes across the primary Bond girl, who has a more Anglo-Saxon appearance (though in this case she's played by a French actress). Spectre makes a villainous return, with Blofeld himself in charge. The Big Bad has a secret Supervillain Lair in a remote location, which Bond then promptly destroys. The Dragon is a non-verbal Implacable Man who's Made of Iron.

The Bus Came Back: Mr. White from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace returns after being absent in Skyfall. The Nebulous Evil Organization Spectre returns after a forty-four year absence from the main franchise, last appearing in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, though their involvement in the Craig series is retroactively applied to all of his movies, making the last film to have a villain not tied to Spectre Pierce Brosnan's last movie, Die Another Day. For the first time in the Craig Bond era, the Bond Gun Barrel sequence opens a Bond film; it followed the pre-credits sequence in Casino Royale and was placed at the end of Quantum of Solace and Skyfall. Overall, Spectre's opening gunbarrel is the first since Die Another Day.

Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: Blofeld attempts invoking this to see if Bond will take the bait and become a twisted monster like himself. Instead, 007 simply states that he's "out of bullets" and tosses his gun away so Blofeld can be arrested, leaving him confused at this. It's implied Bond spared Blofeld because he knew that stooping to his level won't bring any satisfaction for all the deaths he's caused.

Foreshadowing
 Spectre / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: When she's about to pass out from drinking too much, Madeleine jokingly observes that there are two James Bonds. Which hints at his relationship with the villain. At the Rome Spectre conference, multiple members of the board are attempting to justify funding for their ventures due to the "surveillance initiative", which foreshadows the true nature of the op Blofeld is running with C. South Africa being bombed right after they reject C's plan is another tipoff. If you've seen Sherlock, you already suspect C, as he plays Moriarty there. Early on in the film, as Bond is taken to the new Q Branch, he passes by the Vauxhall Cross office, which Tanner mentions is set to be demolished. It is at the climax of the film when Blofeld takes control of the demolition charges with his own detonator and tries to bring the place down on 007 and Madeleine Swann. M gives a speech wherein he states that glass will inevitably break and leave pieces behind as he is announcing the end of the 00 programme per C's influence. At the climax, M's fight with C leads to glass shattering above their heads. C slips on the glass shards and falls to his death. M explains to C that a man having a licence to kill also means having a licence not to kill. At the end of the movie Bond decides to spare Blofeld's life. In the same scene as above, he asks C if he's ever actually killed anyone in person (as Bond and M both have). C doesn't answer, and can't meet his eye. He gives it the ol' college try in the climax. Oberhauser uses a variant of the "No, Mr. Bond, I expected you to die," line, and possesses a Right-Hand Cat, which hints at his actual identity. The viewer might be tricked into thinking it's merely a Call-Back to earlier films, though... M explains to Q that the tracker that allows them to follow Bond's movements also allows C to follow Bond's movements. This would explain how Mr. Hinx is always able to find where Bond is going, as C is working with Blofeld. After Bond rescues Madeleine from the assassins that kidnap her from her clinic, she angrily snaps at him, "Did it cross your mind that you led them to me?!" She's not wrong, given again Spectre's access to the tracking blood. The photo Bond looks at in his apartment features him as a boy with the older Oberhauser and the face of the other boy has been burned away. Not only hints at Blofeld's past with Bond (and the whole photo is seen later in Blofeld's base), but also the damage that will occur to Blofeld's face when the watch blows up. When Mr Hinx reaches the corpse of Mr White, he looks up at the security camera mounted on the wall behind the man and smiles. This foreshadows Oberhauser revealing that he managed to hack the camera and acquire the footage of White's suicide from said camera. The opening shot of the film. The epigraph "The Dead Are Alive." It foreshadows everything, from Judi Dench's cameo as M, Mr. White's condition, Mr. Hinx surviving the car crash, Oberhauser being alive twice, and Bond escaping Vauxhall Cross. Q mentions that he has two cats. Oberhauser has one. The opening credits feature Bond and Madeleine falling through the air, which is how they escape the rigged Vauxhall building.

Made of Iron: Bond, of course. After a fight that would have sent any other man to the hospital, he's healthy and invigorated enough for sex with Madeleine. Madeleine herself takes a couple of solid shots from the man-mountain they fought, but she, also, doesn't end up with so much as a bruise. Bond suffers no ill-effects from his later torture, either.

Continuity Nod
 Spectre / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: A number of references to the previous Craig-era Bond films appear. In general: All of the villains from the Craig years are name-dropped and appear in photographs and in the opening credits (save for Dominic Greene).note The opening credits sequence itself could therefore be interpreted as a callback to the opening credits of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which featured clips of all five Bond films released up to that point. Bond sends Lucia to meet Felix Leiter for protection. Casino Royale: Bond gets a tracking device injected into his arm. They probably went with nanites this time around so the bad guys wouldn't carve it out again. Denbigh and M's confrontation is virtually identical to Bond and Dryden's—takes place in a glass office tower, M surprises Denbigh by lurking in his office, Denbigh attempts to shoot M, only to find that the gun isn't loaded and for M to reveal that he removed the bullets. The only difference is that Denbigh falls to his death after scuffling with M, rather than M shooting him. At the beginning of the movie, in Mexico City, gunshots cause a building to collapse, just like the house collapsing in Venice at the end of this film. Bond uses the same brand of holster he had for his Walther P99 in this film for his PPK in Spectre. Bond quits his career to be with the woman he loves. Bond ditches the minor, tertiary Bond Girl (or perhaps, just simply opts out of Round Two) to carry out a mission. Bond is tied to a chair and tortured by the villain. Bond has a conversation on a train with his Love Interest. Bond performs a Railing Kill after his cover is blown at the Spectre meeting. In this film, he did the same thing to Obanno's lieutenant in the stairwell fight. Vesper Lynd's name comes up multiple times. Bond finds Mr. White's "interrogation" video of her in Tangiers. Quantum of Solace: An extended sequence late in the film takes place in a facility in the middle of a desert (in Bolivia in QoS, Morocco here). M ignores orders and deliberately helps out Bond, echoing his predecessor's "He's my agent, and I trust him" attitude. Bond once again spends the climax hunting for the Big Bad with a non-standard gun, before being forced to rescue the Girl of the Week from an explosion. The Supervillain Lair (okay, it was a hotel in Quantum, but still) is destroyed thanks to a chain reaction from a seemingly minor explosion. Assuming Bond has come to kill him, Mr. White simply asks him, "make it quick", precisely what Vesper's duplicitous lover said to him. Blofeld crawling away from the wrecked helicopter in the climax is near-enough what Greene did in the climax of QoS after accidentally swinging an axe into his foot. The intro sequence of Bond and Madeleine falling through the air is very similar to that of Bond and Camille. Bond chases an assassin through a festival, ultimately killing him. Skyfall: Bond is again evaluated by a psychologist, and he isn't taking this one too seriously, either. Another Did They or Didn't They? scene between Bond and Moneypenny. Mallory/M gets to get into the action once again. Bond's allies are forced to watch helplessly as a building he's presumably in is blown to bits. The Big Bad uses an Animal Metaphor for himself and Bond. Silva used rats, Oberhauser uses the cuckoo bird. Also, in Tangiers, Bond also gets tipped off, or "ratted out", to Mr. White's lair by the presence of a rat. As mentioned in the Musical Nod post, the soundtrack is very similar if not virtually identical at some points, with several pieces of music reappearing. When Madeleine quips about the possibility of accidentally shooting Bond, he quips right back, "Well, it wouldn't be the first time.", clearly referencing when Moneypenny did so. One of the lyrics in the theme song claims, "a storm is coming", precisely what Bond said to M as they traveled towards Skyfall. The painting in Madeleine's room at Oberhauser's headquarters is the one Severine was showing to the man Patrice murdered in Shanghai, definitively linking the two film's. In M's message to Bond, she is clearly in her house, wearing the outfit she was wearing when she got the first taunting message Silva regarding the reveal of the undercover agents. This also links the two films and indicates that she didn't just fear Silva, she feared whoever was backing him.

Joker Immunity: Once Franz Oberhauser reveals himself to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Bond lampshades that "he's a hard man to kill" in the climax. This was done because of the nasty legal battle that plagued the franchise for nearly 50 years.

Artistic Licence – Anatomy
 Spectre / int_a7495ed0
comment
Artistic Licence – Anatomy: During the torture scenes, the descriptions of what drilling into specific parts of the brain will do are suspect at best. Higher brain functions like facial recognition are spread out over an area, so whether damaging such a tiny area would give the described result is already questionable. Furthermore, even the general area of the brain is all wrong. In the film this is said to be the result when the drill goes into something at the base of the neck. That area in the human brain controls basic functions like motor functions and autonomous muscles. Facial recognition has been mapped around the temple, which was ironically the previous location the drill went. Of course, all that talk might just have been to heighten the victim's horror, as the film itself seems to lampshade this as Bond has no problem recognizing people after his torture. However, this also brings the question of Bond somehow not being incapacitated by the procedure itself. Most people wouldn't be able to function for a while after having something drilled into their head, much less go into action.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Pretty evident during Bond and Madeleine's escape from the Spectre base in Morocco, where Bond mows down Mooks left and right without getting so much as a scratch.

Doesn't Like Guns: Subverted in Madeleine's case. She openly disapproves of guns and the men using them (which is likely one of the reasons why she doesn't like Bond at first) but knows how to use one which she does at one point to save Bond. As a child she shot an assassin who was after her father with a Beretta 9mm hidden in a kitchen cupboard, which seems to have been what triggered her dislike of them.

Oh, Crap!: Bond when he realizes the church is falling down towards him. Q, accompanied with a Precision F-Strike after seeing that Bond has stolen the Aston Martin DB10 and left a bottle of champagne in its place. Bond during the first Spectre meeting, when Oberhauser turns towards him and greets him. M after C reveals he's watching his own agents when C plays a recording of a phone call between Bond and Moneypenny. Mr. Hinx when he realizes he's about to be thrown off a train with a rope wrapped tightly around his neck and a heavy weight at the end of it. He says, "Shit!" before he disappears. Bond when Oberhauser/ Blofeld reveals that he's holding Madeleine prisoner somewhere in the rigged Vauxhall Cross building. C has one when he wobbles on the edge of a smashed ledge in shards of glass and he realises he's going to fall off it. Blofeld himself when he realizes his helicopter is about to crash. Probably the only time in the film when his calm, collected, demeanor slips.

The DB5 gets fully rebuilt by Q at the end, however.

Human Traffickers: During the SPECTRE meeting, it's mentioned that one of the Nebulous Evil Organization's many sources of revenue is human trafficking, including female and child prostitution. This is also why Mr. White, a former member, defected and went into hiding, since he was appalled by the levels of evil that Oberhauser sank to. Even 007 looked disgusted by how the Spectre bigwigs were raking in money from their illicit operations, including terrorism and outright slavery.

The Paranoiac
 Spectre / int_ba2f9dfe
comment
The Paranoiac: Franz Oberhauser was the son of Hannes Oberhauser, the man responsible for raising an orphaned 007 following the death of his parents in a climbing accident. But he grew jealous of his father's increasingly close relationship with Bond, even showing physical disgust when his father insist he call James his brother. Driven by Envy, Franz murdered his father and staged his own death in an avalanche, while developing an Irrational Hatred of 007 for being favored more, and still blames Bond for causing a wedge to develop between him and his father, when it was the other way around. As a result, this eventually becomes a Cain and Abel situation, where Franz (now calling himself Ernst Stavro Blofeld) created SPECTRE to not only condemn the whole world to chaos for his selfish gain but to orchestrate many of Bond's personal tragedies in later years over this petty grudge. And daring to question or failing to please him is an automatic death sentence, as Mr. White learned the hard way when he chose to defect.

Playing Both Sides: Blofeld masterminds a series of terrorist attacks in order to trick the governments of the world into setting up a joint intelligence and surveillance sharing network...which, thanks to his moles, he'll have total access to, allowing SPECTRE to permanently stay one step ahead of the law.

Insecure Protagonist, Arrogant Antagonist

comment
Insecure Protagonist, Arrogant Antagonist: This motif is expanded upon. M suspends 007 from field duty for causing an international debacle while trying to stop terrorists linked to SPECTRE from blowing up a stadium in Mexico City. C/Max Denbigh mocks both Bond and M as outdated and thinks Attack Drones and 24/7 surveillance would do a better job than human spies. C is actually trying to give backdoor access of the world's spy agencies to SPECTRE in exchange for more political power. The film later reconstructs by stating that spies are just as important as they were during the Cold War.

Collapsing Lair: Blofeld does this to the abandoned MI6 building in London to kill Bond after some gloating. Also combined with an attempt to ruin Bond's life if he survives by trying to kill Bond's Girl of the Week, which if it succeeded, would have been reminiscent of Casino Royale (2006). As the building comes down, you can see the reactions on the faces of other MI6 characters such as M. Somehow, Bond still escapes to bring down Blofeld's escape helicopter.

Shout-Out
 Spectre / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Part of the opening sequence pays homage to the "wall of eyes" shot from Metropolis. The safe house has a cover of a shop called Hildebrand. Tanner says he's never heard of it. Unsurprising, as unless you read the Bond short stories by Ian Fleming, it is unlikely you would have heard of "The Hildebrand Rarity", in the collection For Your Eyes Only. That's one Bullitt-looking Bond in that turtleneck (tactleneck?). Denbigh's codename is "C". This was the codename of Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming, the original chief of the British Secret Service, along with his successors, and the inspiration for the similarly-named M. Bond turns up to a meeting and sarcastically claims his name is Mickey Mouse to a guard. Hilariously becomes a Brick Joke when the guard calls him by that name once Blofeld blows 007's cover. Among the names on the memorial in the old MI6 Headquarters: Emma Pill. Ironically though, in this case, the names on the memorial are actually all crew members from the film (Pill being a location manager). However, the name is similar, and Ralph Fiennes gets an Actor Allusion when British spy M noticeably brandishes an umbrella while in a pinstripe suit. The monstrous giant Mr. Hinx killing a (good-looking, Spanish-speaking) Spectre assassin by ramming his fingers into his eyes calls an infamous TV death scene to mind. Bond shooting at Blofeld, only to discover he's behind bulletproof glass, echoes the opening of the first episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. Mr. Hinx is said to be inspired by The Terminator. Madeleine Swann: her own name a shoutout to Proust's Swann's Way, and its famous madeleine. A major plot point is a Moroccan cafe called l'Americain.

Freudian Excuse: Bond had been taken in by Oberhauser's father in the wake of his parents' death and Bond and the elder Oberhauser quickly formed a close relationship. Franz quickly grew jealous of the younger boy, comparing him to a cuckoo,note birds that lay their eggs in other species' nests, where the chicks then push out the original eggs to be raised by the unaware parents and killed his own father before starting a new life as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, using his mother's lineage to hide his identity.

Arc Welding
 Spectre / int_dba4ae4f
comment
Arc Welding: Blofeld claims that Spectre was behind the events of Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall (supposedly, as it's entirely possible he was attempting to rattle James). This is a fairly unusual case, because the arc seems to have been unwelded just to weld it back together. Le Chiffre was clearly established as having worked for Quantum (and being killed for being unreliable) in the first two films, but references to those events in this film seem to imply that MI-6 thought they were independent villains. One of Mr. White's lines implies that Spectre is Quantum, just after mission drift and a strong change in plans (likely Bond disrupting its leadership). Spectre could also plausibly be the organization that was behind the events of Blood Stone as well.

Made of Explodium: Bond blows up a gas canister in Spectre's Moroccan base in the middle of a firefight. As he and Swann escape, the entire base blows up behind up behind them because of a chain reaction that was apparently caused by this (so far as the audience can see, at least). It's probably the most fragile evil base a Bond villain has ever had. Meta-note: This scene set a new world record for the most explosives used in one scene in a Hollywood film. None of it was CGI.

Whole-Plot Reference
 Spectre / int_e303d198
comment
Whole-Plot Reference: Hilariously enough, this movie has many similarities with Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, to which itself uses many aspects from previous Craig-Bond movies, despite both coming out the same year. The main focus being the titular Nebulous Evil Organization that has surfaced and is behind numerous incidents all over the world that are connected together. The organization is shrouded in so much secrecy that the main protagonist has no choice but to go rogue in order to track them down on their own. Meanwhile, the main protagonist's stunts in previous films are catching up with them and the government demands to shut down the agency that they worked for because they think it is unreliable and outdated, leaving only a few loyal agents to assist the hero off-the-grid. The second act that take place in Austria and Morocco. The villains' motivation is to acquire something that would help expanding their organizations' influence further provided by a government official who has ties with them and love to push the hero's Berserk Button at any chance they get, and the climax of both films take place in London, with someone close to the hero got kidnapped by the villains and the hero has to race against time to save them AND stop the villains from escaping, culminating in the main villains got taken into custody, opening up the possibility for them to return in the future. Doesn't help that Lea Seydoux, the Bond girl of this movie, also played a villain in the previous MI movie, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. SPECTRE infiltrates an intelligence organization to set up a global surveillance system that they can use to take out anyone they want, just like HYDRA in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. M and C both make much the same arguments for and against this system that were made in that film as well. Funnily enough, HYDRA from Marvel Comics was originally based on SPECTRE, as particularly evidenced by the similar◊ logos.

Empathic Environment: Bond and Madeleine meet in cold and snowy Austria and she's equally cold and frosty to him. Their relationship thaws as they head to much-warmer Tangiers, peaking with them consummating it the night before they get off the train in the middle of the desert.

To the Pain: Oberhauser/Blofeld tortures Bond by drilling holes into various parts of his brain while explaining what effect this is having on him throughout. It doesn't actually faze Bond himself that much, because he's, well, James Bond, but it greatly disturbs Madeleine, especially when he threatens to take away Bond's ability to recognize faces.

Determinator: Once Mr. Hinx is after you, he just doesn't stop coming. Mr. White is dying from thallium poisoning. According to Bond, he should have died weeks earlier, but stayed alive out of concern for Madeleine. Even Blofeld counts, as he's caused enough damage to break Bond physically and psychologically, more so than his previous incarnations. And he's willing to send in death squads to hunt down Mr. White for calling it quits.

Hate Sink: Max Denbigh/C, is a sleazy and Corrupt Politician placed in charge of a merger between MI5 and MI6, poses a threat to MI6's operations, compounds it by acting like a smarmy douche to Bond and M, and advocates the replacement of human spies with Attack Drones and mass surveillance. Later on, C is revealed to be a Spectre flunky, who plans to turn control of the new surveillance system he's designing over to Ernst Stavro Blofeld, née Franz Oberhauser. At the end of the film, he suffers a well deserved fate when he plummets to the bottom of the headquarters of the merged intelligence service, which he had paid for with Spectre's blood money.

After C/Max Denbigh is revealed to be The Mole within the British government and a member of Spectre who's in cahoots with Blofeld, he attempts to explain why Democracy Is Bad, The Evils of Free Will, that it's a Crapsack World out there and how the "Nine Eyes" programme and total surveillance will work by calling M a "moron," only for M to shut him down by calling him "careless." At first glance, it may seem that C is giving a "Reason You Suck" Speech to M, but it's clear to M and the viewer that C is insane and is only using Psychological Projection to give his Motive Rant.

Black Site: Franz Oberhauser's secret base in the Saharan desert is dedicated to sorting intel provided by the "Nine Eyes" program, and was built around a meteorite impact crater. And who knows if SPECTRE in the new continuity has other hidden Supervillain Lairs in other parts of the world doing similar things? By using the "Nine Eyes" surveillance program, it would enable SPECTRE to run smoothly from behind the scenes and easily counteract any investigations into their operations.

Cain and Abel: Franz Oberhauser/Ernst Stavro Blofeld was James Bond's older foster brother, but despised Bond for being a "cuckoo chick in another bird's nest" by becoming his father's favorite. Franz murdered his father and orchestrated all the tragedies in Bond's life as revenge. Played up when Bond and Oberhauser meet with a bulletproof glass pane between them. Oberhauser's reflection is projected almost perfectly over Bond's face, highlighting their visual similarities.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Dr. Swann is said to be an incredibly skilled doctor/psychologist who graduated from one of the best medical colleges in the world. She doesn't do anything related to that after her intro scene. To be fair though, it's hard to find a use for psychological therapy when you're on the run from armed hitmen.

 Spectre / int_eeb4a5eb

Anti-Climax: The third act is widely regarded as the weakest portion of the movie even by its fans. A leak of the script during the Sony hacking scandal revealed that the studio executives regarded the original ending as even worse (the suppression of an important document, deemed rather boring for the plot of a Bond movie) and the film ended up having five or six writers, one of whom was Daniel Craig himself. It doesn't help that the one we ended up with, a nighttime chase in London between the hero and the leader of the resident Nebulous Evil Organization, which culminates in the latter being captured, while the hero and his allies prevent said organization from gaining control of encrypted data files- was very similar to the finale of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, released earlier the same year.

Evil Plan: Franz Oberhauser masterminding a series of terrorist attacks in order to trick the governments of the world into setting up an intelligence and surveillance sharing network... which, thanks to his moles, he'll have total access to, allowing him to stay permanently one step ahead of the opposition. On a personal level, Oberhauser developed an Irrational Hatred of 007 just because his father paid more attention to Bond than him when they were in their teens. Driven by Envy and resentment, he kills his father out of jealousy, fakes his own death before creating a Nebulous Evil Organization, and made his life's mission to not only orchestrate wanton chaos just for his own benefit, but to mess around and inflict physical and psychological pain on Bond to further punish him just because he was favored by Oberhauser's father.

Product Placement: As in the previous film, Bond is dressed to the nines in the finest Tom Ford apparel through much of the film. He's also briefly uses a Sony Xperia Z5 smartphone to contact Moneypenny, although the editing and lighting of the scene obscures the phone. Jaguar Land Rover supplies SPECTRE with Land Rover Defenders and top of the line Range Rover SVR SUVs.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Franz Oberhauser/Ernst Stavro Blofeld claims that he and Max Denbigh/C are visionaries, only for Bond to mockingly say that they're not "visionaries", but insane megalomaniacs. "Psychiatric wards are full of them." After C/Max Denbigh is revealed to be The Mole within the British government and a member of Spectre who's in cahoots with Blofeld, he attempts to explain why Democracy Is Bad, The Evils of Free Will, that it's a Crapsack World out there and how the "Nine Eyes" programme and total surveillance will work by calling M a "moron," only for M to shut him down by calling him "careless." At first glance, it may seem that C is giving a "Reason You Suck" Speech to M, but it's clear to M and the viewer that C is insane and is only using Psychological Projection to give his Motive Rant. Following the Final Battle, as Bond has him at his mercy, Blofeld offers Bond a chance to Finish Him! and invoke the Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred! trope to see if 007 will fall for the bait and become just as monstrous as he is. But after some initial hesitation, 007 simply refuses, stating that he is "out of bullets" and isn't willing to cross the He Who Fights Monsters line to sink to Blofeld's level, leaving him confused at Bond's rationale to spare him despite their Cain and Abel relationship. Blofeld also doesn't know that despite being a Professional Killer, there are moral lines even Bond won't cross, and killing Blofeld out of revenge won't do much.

How the Mighty Have Fallen

comment
How the Mighty Have Fallen: When we meet Mr. White, he's a broken and disheveled man living in a cabin deep in the Austrian countryside desperately fearing for his life, a far cry from the Smug Snake manipulator he was in the first two Craig films. Though Bond does later acknowledge that it takes some talent to successfully hide out for as long as he has. Oberhauser's entire plan was ultimately to force this trope on Bond via Trauma Conga Line. Instead, Bond turns things around by wrecking Oberhauser's primary base of operations, depriving him of his resources and network, leaving him battered and at the mercy of the British government, then refuses to kill him, instead letting him get a view of Bond and Madeleine having earned their happy ending.

Shown Their Work: A very small example. During the opening scene in Mexico City, a poster in the hotel reads "Dia de Muertos" (literally "Day of Deads"), how the holiday is actually called in Mexico, in contrast with "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead), how it's commonly called in foreign media. Reidite, the rare mineral that Spectre harvested from the meteorite crater their base was built on and which the organization uses to manufacture their member rings, really is only found in meteorite impact craters.
